News About This Theater

Once popular drive-in off the Nimitz Freeway at Alvarado-Niles Road, opened originally by Syufy (later Century Theaters) as a two screen drive-in. The fare was largely first-run films.

Over time, it grew to six screens. The drive-in closed to much fanfare in 2000 and in its place, the Union Landing shopping center replaced it. Century Theaters now operates a popular 25 screen stadium theater on this site.

As of today, only two drive-ins still operate in the Bay Area(both Century Theaters owned)—The Capitol 6 in San Jose(year-round) and the Solano 1 & 2 in Concord (Memorial Day to Labor Day only). The latter has had rumors of closing during the past two years.
